Dizziness after a stroke is a bit serious, haan. You should not ignore this at all or try any ghar pe remedies, na. Straight away take the patient to their neurologist to check if the blood flow is fine or if they need medication adjustment.

Babuji, please do not let them walk alone when they feel dizzy, they might fall and get hurt. Keep a stable chair nearby and always hold their hand when they stand up. Please show them to the big hospital doctor as soon as possible.

I was reading that post-stroke dizziness can happen because of balance center issues in the brain or even blood pressure changes from medicines. It definitely requires a proper evaluation by their treating doctor and maybe vestibular rehabilitation therapy.

You should track their blood pressure using a digital BP monitor twice a day and log the readings. Often, post-stroke medications can drop BP too low, causing dizziness. Show this digital log to their neurologist so they can adjust the dosage precisely.

Look, dizziness after a stroke is a direct warning sign that something needs medical attention. Do not ask for home remedies online for this. Take them to their doctor immediately to avoid any falls or further complications.

Any kind of post-stroke symptom needs strict follow-up and regular blood tests to monitor overall health parameters. Just like I have to do routine checks for my thyroid, a stroke survivor needs continuous medical supervision. Please consult their doctor before changing anything.

This dizziness can be so scary for the patient, ho na. My uncle had the same issue and his doctor said it was due to balance issues after the stroke. They started specialized physical therapy which helped him a lot, haan na. Please consult your doc.
